A descriptive research study of the postgraduate education was conducted from June to December 2011. The objective was to identify the learning requirements in the field of basic care to medical urgencies and emergencies of the primary health care physicians who work in "Mario Gutierrez Ardaya" university polyclinic. The system comprised empirical, theoretical and statistical processing methods. An observational guide was used to evaluate the specific skills of physicians in the care of urgencies and emergencies. Thirty nine physicians answered a questionnaire to detect the topics in which they need training as to the care of the critical patient. The most relevant topics were found to be management of airways and ventilation, cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation, and shock treatment. Fourteen key informants and 3 experts were interviewed, which resulted in the definition of the most important urgency and emergency topics for the primary health care physicians.
